Confirm someone can own an issue before routing it
A review signal can send the issue and username to Notis. It checks whether that person can be assigned and reports the result before you route the work.
Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Action
Check if a user can be assigned to an issue
Checks if a specified github user can be assigned to a given issue within a repository.
Why this helps
Choosing an issue owner only to find they cannot be assigned adds another interruption to an already busy day.
- Check assignment eligibility for a specific issue and user.
- Start the check from an HTTP request.
- Reduce follow-up when routing work from a review.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect BSC Designer and GitHub once in Notis.
- 2Create an automation in any channel or in Automations, New Automation.
- 3Explain how the webhook identifies the repository, issue, and user, then ask Notis to check assignability.
- 4Pick the webhook trigger and choose where run reports go.
- 5Test with one real issue and username.

Recurring trigger

Accept a repository invitation
Accepts a pending repository invitation that has been issued to the authenticated user.
Webhook trigger
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
List repositories starred by the authenticated user
Deprecated: lists repositories starred by the authenticated user, including star creation timestamps; use 'list repositories starred by the authenticated user' instead.
List stargazers
Deprecated: lists users who have starred a repository; use `list stargazers` instead.
Star a repository for the authenticated user
Deprecated: stars a repository for the authenticated user; use `star a repository for the authenticated user` instead.
Add email for auth user
Adds one or more email addresses (which will be initially unverified) to the authenticated user's github account; use this to associate new emails, noting an email verified for another account will error, while an existing email for the current user is accepted.
Add app access restrictions
Replaces github app access restrictions for an existing protected branch; requires a json array of app slugs in the request body, where apps must be installed and have 'contents' write permissions.
Add a repository collaborator
Adds a github user as a repository collaborator, or updates their permission if already a collaborator; `permission` applies to organization-owned repositories (personal ones default to 'push' and ignore this field), and an invitation may be created or permissions updated directly.
Add a repository to an app installation
Adds a repository to a github app installation, granting the app access; requires authenticated user to have admin rights for the repository and access to the installation.
Connect any two apps with Notis in the middle.
BSC Designer and GitHub, or any other combination from 1,000+ integrations.
